Crafting for Christmas

A week before Christmas, I decided to make a few gifts myself. This year, we had a Christmas party with friends, and we had to give something to this lovely couple. I needed projects that I could finish in a week, so I made:
a scarf for him

and a pair of socks for her.


After all the partying and eating, I had a very lazy sunday. I did a bit of ironing, a bit of reading, and I made a resolution list for 2010. I wonder what will come of it.

Sometimes it's a good idea to take the example of a cat, and sit by the fire and relax and meditate a bit.
I'm ready for the new year and the work that got piled up on my desk!

Poppies in winter

I received this lovely print last friday, it was a gift from Lily, all the way from sunny California. It gives my desk a feeling of summer. I have to look for a nice frame and hang it on my wall, to brighten my day. Thank you so much Lily!

Treats!

Yesterday, I received a parcel from the US, full of lovely presents!
Soft and beautiful merinos yarn, a tissue holder, two cat collars, cat treats and a nice card!
The tissue holder and collars were handmade, thank you so much, Carrie...
Here you can see Punt inspecting everything (cats are so curious!).

Mmm, what do I smell? (I opened one of the cat treats).

Look at all these goodies...

Spanish goodies

Look what I got from Sevilla:

an aqua leather wallet

and a folding fan.
Danielle from "Pussman & co" brought these lovely presents for me from her holiday. Thank you!
